Developer Activision has lifted the curtain on what’s coming to multiplayer in the upcoming season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 when it releases on April 2nd, and it will be packed with glorious Covert operations nostalgia.
Five multiplayer maps will be available on day one: Beacon, Abyss, Plaza, Gridlock and Mission: Trident. First up, Beacon is a new medium-sized map set in a remote snowy region, centered around a freezing Guild facility dotted with shipping containers for cover and offering a mix of indoor and outdoor environments.
Abyss is a much smaller environment that takes place entirely inside a submarine. It’s a long, rectangular map that looks a lot like the excellent Bullet map from Black ops 6 (which was set on a speeding bullet train). However, it seems much tighter than Bullet, with narrow hallways and plenty of obstacles to navigate.
